V in Application*filedseptember Toall'whomitmayconcerni' i citizen-of t-he United;States;; residing rat Evansville-in the county of Douglas and State of Minnesota, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Typewriter Attach inents; of which the -following a= specifi cation. 7

This invention relates to an attachment for typewriters, the general object ofthefin vention beingto provide means forjfolding the paper as'itleaves the platenfof the type-f writer 'so i that it; may be easily placed in an} envelope.

in Another; object, a the invention is to so,

arrange the; parts thatthe paper can be placed in an envelope by the device.

This invention also consists iii acertain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described; illustrated in the accompanying drawings and claims. 1 it In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to, the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the sev:

eralviews, and in when V p p Figure 1 is a view'of-a typew ltGIiSllOW- ing myrlnventlon in use.

Figure 2 is an enlarged plan view of: the

porting arms which are adapted to be connectedwith a part of the carriage of a typewriter as shown in Figure 1. A rod 4? is rotatably mounted in said arms 1, said rod being :providedfwith a loop-i4! and-a crank 4. The crankedjend extends tofa casing 5i carried by one of the arms 1 where the crank engages an adjustable Step5 carried by the; casing which limits the rotary movement of said rod in one'directio'n. .Aplate 2 is hinged to the rod 4, as shown at 3, the upper edge of said plate is curved, as shown at 6,

r to act as a stop for the paper-sheet. Spring.

arms 7 are provided for holding the paper to the plate, theseiarms beingprovided, with curved ends 8 for guiding the paper as it comes from the platento theupperface of -1e', 192a Serial Mama... 7
